Dorothy was a wonderful women who loved her family extensively. She was always more concerned for others than herself. I learned from her that when you have childen to display your love. Hold, hug, and kiss then as much as possible. I patterned how I raised my girls by her example. I was very lucky to have known her and to have her in my life for so long. She was a kind and gentle soul. I was very privelaged to have been invited into the Fannin family. They enriched my life and made it whole.
I found out there was a new deminsion to family.
I will miss her very much.
